For what it’s worth, I love the 456 and would consider one, but here’s what I’d want:

 

-Imported or import myself a Euro model from 1994.

-Six speed manual.

 

Why?

 

The 1994 Euro models didn’t come with airbags. After nearly 30 years, I wouldn’t trust the bag fabric or explosives in an accident. Seatbelts have worked for the last 60+ years and even with aging, it’s simple and not that costly to replace. Oh, and the air bag ECUs easily fry if you jump-start a dead 456/550. Those ECUs are NLA. You can’t sell a car with an airbag fault/error code (unless you want to accept that liability in case the next owner has an accident). Besides, I hate the look of the fat steering wheels of the airbag cars. The Euros used slender three-spoke designs.

 

The automatic transmissions in these 456s were bespoke items using parts that are now NLA (see the theme?). The same reason why I wouldn’t touch a single-clutch F1 system from a modern, 2000s-era Ferrari. Not that a manual clutch job would be easy to do on a 456, but at least it’s still do-able and the parts are available.

 

Other, unavoidable weak points on the car are the power windows and the rear shock absorbers. The factory fixes never fix the problems and they continue to break. Mike Sheehan sold one several years ago and when I read the service report, the rear shocks were changed on that particular example every year...

Yes, it is all about you.

 

1. The 456 was released in 1992, not 1989, and only shared its stroke with the 348.  It is as similar to the 550 as it is the 348.  And the 575 is based on the same Dino platform.  Technology advances.  That is why it is $40k and not $140k.

2. A lack of records doesn't make a car a "parts car".  That is just a ridiculous statement.

3. As stated earlier, insurance will pay for replacement body panels.

4. If you hate automatics, fine, not for you but that isn't relevant.  Auto or not, this seems like a great deal.  And, like any slush box, they are reliable if properly maintained.  Given its pedigree, parts are readily available and cheap.  And, yes Clyde, slush box refers to a hydro-auto and not a manual.

Buy the hood, get the rest of the car for $15k....

 

 

Go price a Mercedes V12 of the same era, there is a reason that these are all ten cents on the original dollar cars.

This is a moving parts car for the 456 crowd

Some 456 owners need to get together and by it for parts

That's almost tempting at that price point. Besides the fact that it's automatic, besides the fact that it isn't pristine, besides the one stupid issue they have that I know about with windows, what are the downsides/risks? First thing is "some recent service," what does that mean? In other words, when was the last "major service" and when is it due next? What is the extent of a normal "major service" on a 456, and can an owner do it? I haven't done it in a while but I can do a major service (cam belts, tensioners, valve adjust, etc) on my 308 in a weekend, but my impression is that the newer and more complex the car is the less owner-serviceable it is, and I assume that's the case here.
